Xiaomi recently launched the Xiaomi 12S series smartphones in China. Now, Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station reports that the brand’s upcoming Xiaomi 13 series might come with a ceramic body. It is tipped to be manufactured by BYD. The tipster adds that this is just a prototype and it remains to be seen whether the final product indeed features a ceramic back panel. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra was also expected to come with a ceramic body but the brand ditched it.
Xiaomi has used ceramic back panels for high-end flagships including the MIX 4 and MIX Fold. The ceramic body offers a lightweight form factor. It will be interesting to see the next-generation Xiaomi 13 series with a ceramic body.
The Xiaomi 13 series is tipped to launch later in November this year. It will reportedly be powered by an SM8550 processor which could be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The lineup is expected to consist of standard and Pro models with codenames Nuwa and Fuxi respectively. The former has model number 2211133C.
It’s still quite early for the Xiaomi 13 series launch, so we recommend taking this news with a pinch of salt. We should hear more about the smartphones in the coming months.
